I laughed so hard reading his post. My day is made

The dude above me is a whole cruise

The day I experienced this kain thing henn I even parked, walked up to the lastma guy to ask and he said to problem. When his colleagues jump in front of my car I explained to them and they said it's not possible. Las Las I just make call and was later released. Criminal plenty for Lagos menn

I dropped 5k in my case. Na Oshodi council boys hold me. The female police officer that said it’s good to go denied me.

Ty207:

In-case you need the engine too the only problem is shaft and matters, no smoke,it will only cost 35k to fix it.

Don’t you think you should keep them for parts? Since you are not selling off the car, it’s only a matter of time before you need any of those parts.

... and IMO I think it is too early to even think of selling those parts, from what I gathered in your post you have only used the toks engine for less than three days (remember you didn’t buy a brand new engine).

I learnt this the hard way in 2016.

Eko for show
I once had a similar experience to this last year at Oshodi. Woman police run me street.

Power steering oil nko?

Who else thinks we should make this mans wife Admin of this thread...Just incase



Meanwhile my car fanbelt has been burning abi na chop I go call m..This is the second one in 2weeks...wat could be the issue

If everything checks OK with the bearings, you should get Toks belt when you are buying the next one.

I did strong head on Tuesday when my Mech told me to buy Toks belt I didn’t listen, I bought new one for 2k at Jakande. Wednesday afternoon, the belt cut at Lekki toll gate, as if that’s not painful enough, it broke my power steering oil container.

The money I did not want to spend, I spent X2 of it.

Toks belt: 3000
Power steering oil container: 2500
Workmanship: 2000

Those cms lastma the ones in grey abi ash uniform almost use me shine this morning oo, I dropped some one off at marina just after Uba bank , I turn left into the first left after the Uba building so they could come down but I didn’t clear or park well , as they were coming down Na so I aight them for my front directly ,they saw me to and approached swiftly ...Na so I slam the gas them fly Comot for road ...I quickly turned back into marina and fired down them I got to the traffic light at the cms church then it turned red , these guys caught up with me and told me to wind down and I didn’t ...he went for my tires and removed the valve , immediately the light turned green I fired again down , as I was speeding I never even go far not up to even 20 secs the tire less finish I quickly turned right into one entrance opposite I think Npa building or so ...these guys passed me with their bike they didn’t see me ooo, omo today was crazy, luck being on my side where I parked a lady that sells stuff was like that’s how they do ...she called Vulcanizer directly where I parked and they pumped and put another valve for 500...marina na mad place wallai

CBD officials Their craze pass lastma own. Thank God they didn’t hold you. Always end trip like 300-500 meters away from drop off around that area, before you stop to park, signal to any CBD official around you that you need to quickly drop off your passengers, they’ll let you. But don’t waste time and don’t trust them still. Always be at alert!!!

Ogataxi:
...No lies bruv. I've made more money doing drops dis period than on Uber (Only God knows what's happening to my bolt account. I have to wait till they resume)
....Tho I don't encourage going to the mainland cus Police/LASTMA on the island are more sensible and according to one passenger (they need to respect themselves cus dey don't know who is who)
...I only go from Ajah to CMS, morning and evenings, if I get Uber trips in the afternoons fine, if not I go home and sleep for evening rush
...Tho Its not All fun like Bolt, but I wind up with full A.C. nd 4 passengers, most tyms I pick full load @ VGC. Fire down to CMS, sometimes even before people wake up fully I've made 4k.
....Truth is no Mata how hard it is in lag..People will always move around if you're ready to move them - UcheTaxify2018

How much is CMS to Ajah and where do you drop off your passengers at CMS? There’s also problem of change, someone will give you 1000 Naira note for a trip of 100/200.

Today is very dry. My bolt app was on for 2hours between 2-4pm. Not a single request entered.

Gentlelife50:
Go to eputu, they have it there.
There is one Igbo man a little after golf if you are going to Epe by the left, he will have it too.

Thanks bro. I already contacted someone around oyingbo, he’ll buy and send it through dispatch riders.

Gentlelife50:
Where are you on the island??

Sangotedo

InfinityEstates:
Igbarra, Jakande. But you might want to go to Ladipo...

I am considering the cost (transportation) and time.

Where can I buy car parts on the island? I need Toks upper arm control, Toks ball joint and tie rod. Urgent!

stacyadams:
Yeye lastma or cbd go order wuber come stand for no waiting,no parking ,keep moving zone dey wait for wuber driver...once wuber driver don show dem go enter ur car ticket u say commit offence..

I hope u understand

Correct!

In my case, Immediately I accepted the request, I slowed down before turning to marina so I can put a call through to the rider, called several times, phone number was unreachable, I had passed the traffic light by the cathedral when I received a call from a lady.

She said she’s the one that booked my ride and she can see that I’ve arrived at the park (Riders name is Jimoh, I was expecting to speak with a man, but things like that do happen)

I told her I have already passed the park entrance as it’s a no stopping zone, I told her to come outside of the park and walk a bit further while I go make a U-turn, she said OK.

In less than 3 minutes I made the turn, called this lady while waiting for the traffic light to pass me, she didn’t pick up, the moment I approached the park entrance she picked and said she’s at the cathedral, I should reverse so she can meet me halfway.

I told her ‘God punish you’ , dropped the call and zoom off. I cancelled before heading to vi.

Excel70:
This security agencies should hold anybody not wearing face mask responsible. The driver can't be driving and looking out for riders not wearing face mask. They are grown up adults not babies

Unfortunately, it’s not possible. They can’t impound human beings you know

Sakamanjeh99:
Mask don turn police work now...
Naija..kaii
Besides....alwys hav photocopy of ur licence
Thanks for d info...

Thanks..I’ll make photocopies of it tomorrow.

davit:
]It was still your lucky day bro. The riders I have picked before would not pay that money. And Bolt /Uber don't care about enlightening these people.
In fact, they are quick to sanction you if such riders give you low rating. So pathetic.

Agreed.

pope191:
I don't even know what to make out of this, our law's are full and empty at the same time, we never have a standard and that's how things will continue to b. Sometimes I regret having faith in this country, I won't stop asking what's actually the difference between motorist and ordinary man walking along the road? The better percent of people are not using face mask again here in Nigeria, even in USA I flow with folks while they drive and they pass the po-po always, they have never for once have the fear of being stop by d police over face mask. I feel like this is the new way for authorities/task force to rob people of dia money, we really need to man these people in a war of face to face, we as a citizen should stand our ground. It sad to say same police men r seen without face mask, but when it time to do their evil work they use the mask. I honestly don't know how long Lagosian will survive running from Police, V.I.O, Lastma, CBD, FRSC, LG Boiz, etc. I can't Breathe

Lagos is a jungle. While leaving Apongbon after dropping the girl off, a Lekki phase two request came in from CMS park, I accepted it but I later found out that it was a trap.

northbird:
@ babadee, I thank God for you o.

1700*0.8. - #1500. If say rider no pay nko

No b loss b DAT.

I'm sure next trip she go put on her facemask .

I’ll count my loss and move on. I wasn’t expecting her to pay but I’m happy she paid.

Next time she will wear her mask without waiting to be told.
I just imagined the officer refused to take 1500 and insisted on the 10k or even 5k. Do you think she will refund me ?

My stubborn rider experience this morning.

I picked this girl from Fola Osibo, destination somewhere in Apongbon. She entered the car and wasn’t putting on her nose mask, so I requested that she puts it on.

The following conversations ensued:

Me: Pls use your nose mask

Rider: Don’t worry Oga, I don’t have corona

Me: You don’t have to wait until you contract the virus before you use your nose mask moreover we can be arrested on the road, so pls put it on.

Rider: Yesterday I didn’t use it on my way here and they didn’t arrest us.

Me: That’s the drivers lucky day.

Rider: today can be your own lucky day too.

Me: leave luck aside, I don’t take risk (at this point I was feeling really frustrated.)

Rider: Ok o

She reluctantly put it on and we continued on the trip. She sat directly behind me so I wasn’t really paying attention to her.

We got to Apongbon bridge decent and I was stopped by the police.
The officer requested for my DL, I gave him. Next I heard was why is your passenger not wearing nose mask


I looked back and this mumu girls mask was resting on her laps! The only thing I could manage to say is ‘But why?’

Officer said park well, give me your car papers, we are going to the office. You can see that even me that’s on the road I have my masks on, why is she not wearing hers?.

I started begging, the man said it’s a presidential order bla bla bla, we must go to the office, it’s beyond his power.

In my mind I knew everything he’s saying is just to put fear in me but this is Lagos. Something must drop here before this man give me back my DL and car papers.

After few minutes of begging, he said okay what do you want me to do for you, your offense is 10k fine but tell me what you have.

Laslas 1500 settle the matter.

Well the girl refunded my money. Her trip ended at 1700, she sent 3200.

You went to deliver cake from Lagos to ibafo online?

toomush:
Nawa oooh...and I do park there ooh

Now you know better not to.

kinggenesis:
You owe that Egbon a cold bottle of whatever he takes.

Indeed! I didn’t even wait to say thank you. God bless him wherever he is.

Lastma guys are out to frustrate drivers this time around. No joke!

There’s this road off Ahmadu Bello way in VI that leads directly to Edo Liason office, it’s one of the regular spot you can park as a driver. I was there this afternoon but very close to the major Ahmadu Bello way that leads to Eko hotel.

I have not even spent upto 10 minutes there when one tout walked up to me and said ‘Alaye, O ri nkan ton shele abi ? ( Guy, can’t you see what’s happening?)

A quick glance through the side mirror, I saw lastma guys and their towing van behind me, they already blocked other drivers at my back.

The speed I used to start the car and zoom off from that place is legendary. I didn’t stop till I got to Lekki

Make una they careful o.

...

samobaba4u:
Sorry bro, that is one of the numerous hazards we face in this line of business

Thanks bro. How’s the hustle at your end?

Kala11:
Asin ehn... That Sura is another cashout point for the state govt and those tout called lastma. U get to see all manners of lastma and vehicle owners with various unreasonble of arrest to them with an elicit and unscrupulous transaction those guys are having there.

I cannot imagine why the state govt. Would unleash those miscreant on uniform to be tormenting motorist in this difficult time of lockdown

I feel your pain Babadee1900 and I can relate cos I was also a victim 3weeks ago. I parted with 23k after wasting my whole day in that there useless office.

23k! This Coro time. Sorry man.
